Born in 1961 in Sibiu (Romania), Lia Perjovschi studied at the Art Academy of Bucharest (1993). She is the founder and coordinator of the Contemporary Art Archive and Center for Art Analysis CAA/CAA, an organization still in the process of development; she also founded the ‘Knowledge Museum’ (KM), an interdisciplinary research project begun in 1999.
She present the ‘Knowledge Museum’ at MDE11. She describes it as a shortcut to general knowledge, in search of meaning in the midst of an overwhelming amount of information. Its activity can be summarized as a journey to the body of knowledge.
KM is composed of 7 departments: Land, Body, Universe, Knowledge, Art, Culture and Science, these make an imaginary journey based on images taken by the Hubble telescope and Voyager spacecraft, the human genome map, the pyramid of basic needs. The museum combines diagrams, concept maps on different topics, timelines, and other elements that help create the vision of a different mental landscape to that offered by everyday information.
‘Knowledge Museum’ is more a platform for learning and intellectual games than a standard work of art.
